The Important Bird Areas program (IBA) is part of an international
effort to identify the most critical bird habitat.  The Tennessee
Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) has partnered with the National Audubon
Society  (NAS) to compile a list of sites in Tennessee.  NAS is the U.S.
partner with Birdlife International, the organization that created the
international IBA program.  For more information on the national and
international effort go to http://www.audubon.org/bird/iba 
            An IBA must meet one of the requirements in the Criteria For
Site Selection and be nominated.  The nominated site is then submitted
to the Technical Committee for review and approval.  A link has been
established on the TWRA web site for the Tennessee IBA program.
Criteria requirements, nomination form, progress, and end results will
be posted on this site.  The nomination form and criteria requirements
can be accessed at http://www.state.tn.us/twra/tnbirdareas.html

            You are encouraged to submit sites for nomination.  Michael
Bierly is the Tennessee coordinator.  Contact Michael at 615-292-4783;
mlbierly@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ; and 5211 Kentucky Avenue, Nashville, TN
37209-2006.
